HOLDER FOR ROLLS OFTlCKE'l'S, LABELS, OR THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,247, dated August 11, 1903. Application filed June 7. 1902. Serial No. 110,658. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL GRUNDIG, manager, of 1 Priebuserstrasse,Sorau,N.' L. ,Prussia, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described'and ascertained in and by the follow ing statement.

This invention relates to holders for rolls or continuous lengths of tickets, labels, or the like-for example, of the kindin which a ribbon or ribbons of tickets or labels, perforated or not, is or are mounted on a roller or rollers and so arranged as to be capable of being drawn forward successively through a slot or slots in the holder and torn off or detached.

The chief characteristic feature of the present invention is that the tickets, labels, or the like issuing from the slot or slots of the holder are held down or retained by suitable means or devices-for example, a narrow metal strip or tongue or a transparent cover plate or sheet upon or against the external face of the holder-so that inscriptions or printed or other matter appearing upon the labels, tickets, or the like are exposed to View. The matter appearing on the tickets following description of a holder for a num ber of lengths of tickets or labels embodying the same and illustrating in one holder various constructional forms which the invention may assume, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a front view of the holder, and,

therefrom and are liable to curl and become soiled, and thus be rendered unfit for use.

According to the present invention I emr ploy a retaining device of suitable shape or construction and so disposed on the holder as to hold the ticket as it leaves the slot against or uponthe exterior of the holder with its The retaining device is so formed and arranged that it will serve as a guide for the tickets as they aredrawn forward from the slot or slots of the holder. As above stated, this retaining device may assume various forms. It may, for example, be a narrow bent-up strip or tongue of metal a, as shown, arranged at a suitable point in front of the holder, or it may take the form of a guide plate or sheet 6, preferably of transparent material, extending from the slot 1) to a suitable distance therefrom. These plates or sheets cwhen employed serve as a protection for the tickets. When such a sheet is used, it may with advantage beformed or provided with a lateral cut-away portion, such as f, to enable the ticket 0 to be grasped for the purpose of drawing it forward from the holder. In order to enable the tickets to be moreeasily taken hold of, the wall of the holder may be slotted or cut away, as shown at d, orotherwise formed to enable the ticket to be more readily taken hold of from behind. The slot (1, in combination with the cut-away portionfin the cover plate e, enables the ticket to be readily grasped by the finger and thumb and When the retaining device is arranged at the point at which the separation of the perforated or other tickets is effected, it may be formed with teeth or a cutting edge or be otherwise arranged or combined as to facilitate the detachment of the tickets.

When several ticket-holders are used, itis of advantage to place them one above the other and insert them in a suitable carrier or holder, but any desired number of rolls can be inserted one above the other in one holder, if required.
